modern utopia
A Modern Utopia (1905) The Everyman edition of the story (1994) describes it as follows: On an Alpine exhibition Wells and his friend, the Botanist, slip through a space-warp and find themselves on another Earth, on the far side of the galaxy. ... A Modern Utopia is one of his rare visions of a positive world, but it is one that must be ruled by an elite - the Samurai, an austere, voluntary nobility, among whom is another Mr Wells. ... Here (A Modern Utopia) Wells was at the height of his powers. ... This is as true of A Modern Utopia - an overtly social and political work - as it is of his other writings of the time.
